Are there magnetic Zero-Leak Gold Plugs?

Zero-Leak Gold socket and hex head plugs are excellent for use with Magnets installed. Magnetic plugs are designed to attract metallic particles for removal from fluid systems. The design of the ZLGP allows it to be removed and installed repeatedly without damaging the threads of either the plug or port. The recess under the head of the ZLGP prevents the o-ring, which rests there, from being nibbled by the threads of either the plug or port. This same recess, combined with the engagement of the tapers of the ZLGP and port, prevents the o-ring from being extruded. No chemical sealant of any kind is required with ZLGP. This feature makes installation trouble free and eliminates the possibility of system contamination that may be the result of plug removal and installation. The fact that the ZLGP have two independent seals with the metal to metal being the primary seal and the o-ring is the back up seal, assures that a seal is still possible should the o-ring be lost or damaged when servicing the magnet. Since the ZLGP performance is based on two seals, a replacement o-ring must be installed promptly to insure the total sealing capability of the ZLGP. Typical applications would be truck transmissions, compressor drain / fill, hydraulic gear boxes, diesel engine oil drain / fill, etc.
